Ep 220: Amber’s Birth Story - Rushed Through Labor and a Quick Birth
Amber had the picture perfect pregnancy that ended with an emergency induction. Her daughter couldn't tolerate the contractions and her heart rate kept decelerating. The birth almost ended up in a c-section but Amber was determined to at least have the vaginal birth she hoped for.
She succeeded in having a vaginal birth but her care team was not very supportive. In fact, they rushed her every step of the way. 99% of the time, the heart rate can drop and your baby will be just fine. Amber says now that she wishes she would have been more firm in what she wanted but honestly her care team should have been listening to her. I would say she did a great job of standing her ground.
In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:- How Amber could tell she was pregnant
- How her pregnancy affected her immune system
- Why she recommends pelvic floor therapy
- How her husband supported her throughout her pregnancy
- What her birth wishes were
- Why her doctor pushed for an induction
- What made her disappointed with her doula
- How she coped with postpartum depression
